    We don’t yet know if Thief will go anywhere surprising.

    As a character study of one man, "Thief" works, but it's going to take a lot more than that to pull us into this very dark, very unforgiving story.

    It requires a certain patience to stay with "Thief."

    Watching Braugher, who won an Emmy for Homicide, proves highly satisfying. But there's a big hitch: the maddening show around him.

    The show would probably be too ponderous to enjoy if Braugher weren't an actor of tremendous restraint.
